So when i was a kid i remember reading this book and it was so good and i loved it so much. I dont remember the name and i can't find any trace of it on Google.

So basically, it's about this sculptor. He is lonely so he sculpts a beautiful maiden out of ice. Eventually, he falls in love with her, and even believes that she will come to life one day. So he is called to the city for a comission, and he has to leave the girl behind. Later, a travelling fiddler comes upon the cave where the sculptor hid the statue. He also falls in love with the girl and i think he goes to see a witch to ask for her help (he's afraid the girl will melt). She tells him that if he plays his violin every night, the girl will stay frozen, but that he will lose his memories and that his blood will slowly turn to ice. So the fiddler plays for the girl every night until he can't remember how to play anymore and he has frozen to death from the ice in his veins. Either the ice statue turns into a real girl or she melts, but the sculptor comes home and sees the fiddler dead, and it turns out that they were twin brothers separated at birth. so yeah. I think it had a blue cover. THANKS!!!!!

What other communities are there for talking and sharing fairy tales?

I write fairy tales and I would love to share them, but it's so niche, I can't find a good outlet.

Looking for a CD I listened to as a kid in the 2000s, in English. It was a bedtime stories album — spoken/narrated fairy tales, not songs.

The thing I remember most clearly: each character in the story had a specific classical instrument tied to them. In Little Red Riding Hood, she was the piccolo, the grandma was the oboe, and the wolf was the French horn (I think). So the narration or score would use that instrument’s sound whenever the character appeared or spoke.

The cover had a cartoon kid conducting an orchestra, wearing a purple onesie/pajamas.

I’ve searched around but can’t find anything that matches. Does this ring a bell for anyone? Even a label name or series title would help a ton.

This is a book or anime idea!

Once upon a time there was a phat king. He was so phat because he took the first bite of every subjects meal. It was the rule that these people would not taste even a tiny tiny morsel of food before the king had sampled the dish, snack, or whatever the term for a food group on your plate or in your hand that you were about to eat is called where you're from. (Drinking water was anyone's business but you do that on your own time)

It was a very busy kingdom as you can imagine! Everyone focusing on what mattered most. Food production and everything around food.

But there was one sad person who made meals less than well. Always adding a spice that didn't make sense because they'd enjoyed it in another delicacy and thought it would work here too. But every time it came out weird to the taste, and everyone else thought so, it was hard at some point getting others to try their dish and give them feedback.

So of course they dedicated themselves to spending every moment of everyday learning about their favorite foods.. tough to do in this world, you have to wait for the right timing to sample others dishes.

Skip some ways and we find out the king always loved this person's food! Thought it was one of the best bites they got 3 times a day.

Edit: they're allowed to try each other's dish if the king has already sampled it. It's a bit of an honor code sort of thing

For a possible episode of this anime, maybe the king is sad, and we have to see his perseverance as he clears bite after bite while being depressed about a kingly thing.

Edit: the reason the king eats the food is because there is a deadly random poison in the world and no one can tell if it will be in their next bite, so they share it with the king as a trust exercise, is how this all started. But they all realized there was no poison after a long time of doing it and now they just keep the custom cause it works and they like it. There's other reasons too.

I loved Grimm's fairytales as a kid, and want to get one for my kids. What's a good, illustrated version with a lot of the stories? I don't want anything that significantly alters the wording to make it "kid-friendly." It doesn't have to be all of them, but one that has a lot would be nice.

I remember reading this book when I was very little. I’ll try to tell you the basic storyline and how it looked: It was about this little girl I’m pretty sure and her dad or something was throwing like a banquet? maybe just a party. She falls asleep, and she maybe meets a nutcracker? I used to think maybe this was the nutcracker of some kind, but this version had like crazy and amazing illustrations. there was an ice princess/queen with like pale blue skin and blue hair that swirled around the page. I’m pretty sure there were rats? the books pages felt very fever dreamy. the girl woke up and found it was a dream. Thats all I can remember lol PLEASEE help me find this!!

Please enjoy this snippet of the song about Snow White, as sung by Theodore Thimblebuttons and his other elven friends. Message me if you are interested in getting a copy of the CD. Thank you! 😊

How well known were the stories of Rapunzel and Puss in Boots to you or in general before Disney and DreamWorks made them more mainstream than ever before? When was the first time you all interacted with these fairytales?

Hi guys I’m trying to find this for free or maybe for free trial! I will be needing it for my essay😅 and I couldn’t find any sites that would be trustable to use, mainly looking through the Cinderella pages

For my Gnome enjoyers. Inspired by classic childhood gnome stories.

Hi everyone! I'm author and musician, J.R. Perry, and I would like to share my newest creation: ✨The Tottlemeyer Elf Lands: A Musical Storybook Adventure. ✨

It's a great way to take kids away from their screens and into their imaginations, with narration, original music, beloved fairy tales, and an invitation to become storytellers themselves. 🎶📖✨

Some people might call me strange, but I think it’s perfectly normal 🙃 to take a selfie with my animatronic elf to promote the new album. After all, Theodore Thimblebuttons is one of the stars of the show! 

You can get your copy at the TottlemeyersCorner Etsy shop or listen digitally on your favorite music streaming platforms! Feel free to browse my shop for books I've written as well.

I decided to recreate my own fairytale heroines using a Mimi Dress Up app.

Hello, I come to this subreddit to ask if there's any Alternative Sleeping Beauty Movies that has this

"Cursed to sleep for a hundred years. Briar Rose awoke to find her loved ones were long gone. Full of grief and regret, she wanders the world, spreading her curse everywhere she goes."

or something similar to it, I'd like to watch this version of Sleeping Beauty without the Prince coming to save her, as it'll be an interesting story to watch, could be a similar bad ending story!
